@codputer Without semantic versioning users are lost to understand the difference between products. Hell, I'm lost especially when I building 3 different solution!

@pilotbob Use SemVer but version the CLR and the BCL separately.

@DerailleurAgile The sample size for this straw poll is now statistically significant (+/- 3%). The crowd has spoken: Go forth and make semantic versioning a reality from this day onward. And stop using "CU" this, that and the other thing. It's really confusing and annoying and I hate having to read lengthy docs telling me what order I have to patch to get to the CU.

@heisthedon Often i got very confused with SP and the updates I need to install. Give me number...

@joel_priddy Using the x.y.z number format is way more intuitive than the alternative.

@Mike_Christian Using names has to be the most useless means of versioning anything. Apple snobs love to trash Microsoft for having so many version releases and service packs. They don't realize Apple has just as many for OSX, but they name hem after cats. How am I supposed to know that "OSX Tabby" means 10.8.13?

@tillig I can see use of x.y plus "Update" when assembly version numbers don't change (which helps due to strong name challenges and app compatibility) but even then... I think semantic versions would be better. I would love to get away from Update 6 SP2 R7 Beta.

@KimCM I prefer the SemVer x.y.x version numbers, combined with an alias name for this product, like "magic unicorn", "Natty Narwhal" or "Vista". It's just easier to talk about names.
